Nice pictures! Are these condo buildings or apartments? Remarkably like many in Canada. :)

Aren't they the same thing? They're apartments, that's what we call them here anyway :p

I'm sure they are, but these are the kind of uglies we tend to build. Plenty of exposed concrete, if you're lucky they'll paint it.... or leave it white. The majority were built in the 70s and 80s - hence ;) hehe

No, condos and apartments are not the same thing. Condos units are owned, and apartment units are rented.

They aren't that ugly.. standard 70's-80's looking, but I wouldn't say ugly at all. They aren't gimmicky looking so will probably still look decent 30 years from now.

Oh, I think we have different meanings for the word. 'Condo' isn't something you'd often hear people say here, and the word apartment is generally used in reference to a housing unit in a building. Often, though, as a city that revolves around tourism, there's no shortage of people willing to rent out their holiday homes to people.

I guess they aren't 'ugly', they're just lacking in architectural merit. I'm just glad that residential architecture in this city now sets the standards for the country with buildings such as Soul, Circle on Cavill, Q1, Hilton and Oracle.

Australia does seem to have it all. Would love to visit it someday! :yes:

Me too. I just love that place since i've got a chance to learn more about it. :)

Gold Coast is great!

Australia... maybe the best country in the world! Congrats Aussie's, you're simply the best.

Gold Coast has Australia's most incredible skyline, considering it contains less than one-seventh of Sydney's population.

Such a great skyline!

This is probably the best example of a linear skyline. Great placement of the buildings along the coast, but aerial photos show somewhat little density

Yeah, it isn't the most dense skyline, however a lot of that is due to people wanting uninterrupted views of the ocean and/or of the hinterland. Also, being Australia's tourism mecca, a lot of the highrises are also resorts, and have pools/tennis courts, etc located on the block on land.

Here's some amazing aerials taken by Fabian

I actually like the fact that it's linear. It looks very impressive from afar!

But I guess you can't really have much density too considering the fact that there's too much water inland. I never realized there were that many residential canals!

^^yeah, from afar it does look quite imposing and much, much larger than the city really is.

As for the canals, I believe there is something like 890km of canals (which to my understanding is more than Amsterdam and Venice combined, times two!) with over 80,000 waterfront properties
